In case you had forgotten

i was wondering
if you've ever noticed
that you walk in a cloud of beauty
that the golden air wraps around you
like you are its natural element
that light clings to you
like dew to a leaf
sliding reluctantly down your form
to settle in pools at your feet
and when you step so lightly
it sprays up and up
and against those walking by you
till they too are infused with the glow
and walk on a little lighter
i was just wondering if you've noticed

today you looked as though you didn't know
hiding yourself in that grey hood
sliding your feet against the cement
as though to lift them would risk attention
and that would melt you to the bone
that is how you looked today

i just want to remind you
that you are beautiful.

this is really pretty.
i liked the lines about the golden air wrapping its arms around the person as if THEY are ITS natural element. i thought that was creative.
my other favorite part was the bits about the water that is splashed when lightly stepped upon and how it spreads the 'glow' somehow...

very nice, fun and easy to picture
